Nuri Sahin has agreed a one-year loan move to Arsenal, according to reports in Germany.

German media claims that the former Borussia Dortmund midfielder has completed his medical at Arsenal with an announcement expected from the Gunners in the next 24-hours. Sahin could now be included in the squad for the trip to Stoke City on Sunday.

That's from the independent 3 hours ago, don't know how reliable it is. But then this is from the The Daily Mail 6 hours ago

The on-going transfer saga of Real Madrid's Nuri Sahin has taken another twist as Liverpool and not Arsenal look set to land the midfielder. The player's agent, Reza Fazeli, travelled to meet the Anfield club’s hierarchy and iron out the details of the deal.

I still the allure of Arsenal, Wenger, and Champions League football is enough to get Sahin to Emirates.

Nothing on Song's replacement, thus far. Nothing on another striker...which you would think we would with Park, Arshavin, Chamakh, and Bentdner all possibly on the move. Who is going to back up Giroud and LP9??? Arsene should have worked out a loan deal with Chicharito as part of the sale of RVP. Would have been helpful.
